[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 293330, member: 9736"] I have had issues with the bigger rifles shooting as it heats up in the afternoon. I would bet that it if you wait 15 minutes between shots that is not enough time for the barrel to cool down enough. Remember you are shooting a flame thrower. Every time you fire it heats the barrel more. If there is a breeze blowing that will help to cool it off but if it is still you will need to wait longer. Use a meat thermometer and put it in the barrel from the action end so you don't forget to take it out and see what the temperature does. Could be very surprising on how long it takes to cool down. My opinion is that the bedding job is probably ok if done by a professional and you are dealing with a heat issue with that barrel. It just likes to be cool. [/QUOTE]
